U.S. Bishops Don’t Give A Damn About The Victims Of Illegal Alien Crimes

On Monday this week, President Trump honored victims of illegal alien violence by signing a proclamation designating February 22 as “Angel Family Day.” The date was chosen in remembrance of Laken Riley who was murdered by an illegal alien in 2024. Several family members of murder victims gave heart-wrenching statements at the ceremony.
But America’s heartless bishops failed to even acknowledge this proclamation and the victims it represents (four days after the event, a Google search yielded exactly zero statements from U.S. bishops on the Angel Family proclamation). Since Monday, our Catholic bishops instead issued statements attacking the Trump administration for its immigration enforcement efforts and advocating for migrants who are in this nation illegally. Two years after the bruttal murder of Laken Riley, the USCCB has STILL NOT issued any statement about this terrible tragedy (a search on their website still yields zero results).

Red Pill Dispenser @redpilldispensr Frank Zappa was decades ahead of his time. He said this in 1981: "Schools train people to be ignorant. They give you the equipment that you need to be a functional ignoramus." "They prepare you to be a usable victim for a military industrial complex that needs manpower." "As long as you're just smart enough to do a job, and just dumb enough to swallow what they feed you, you're going to be alright." "Schools mechanically and very specifically try and breed out any hint of creative thought in the kids that are coming up."

‘De Viris Illustribus’ (On Illustrious Men) – Saint Jerome - Chapters 11-16

[Saint Jerome – IV-V Century AD; Stridon, Roman Empire/Bethlehem, Palaestina Prima; aged 75-78, Translation of the Bible into Latin – Vulgate; Doctor of the Church]
“Chapter 11
Philo the Jew, an Alexandrian of the priestly class,
is placed by us among the ecclesiastical writers on the ground that, writing a book concerning the first church of Mark the evangelist at Alexandria, he writes to our praise, declaring not only that they were there, but also that they were in many provinces and calling their habitations monasteries. From this it appears that the church of those that believed in Christ at first, was such as now the monks desire to imitate, that is, such that nothing is the peculiar property of any one of them, none of them rich, none poor, that patrimonies are divided among the needy, that they have leisure for prayer and psalms, for doctrine also and ascetic practice, that they were in fact as Luke declares believers were at first at Jerusalem. They say that under Caius Caligula …More

"Chapter 16 - St. Ignatius
From Syria even unto Rome I fight with wild beasts, by land and by sea, by night and by day, being bound amidst ten leopards, that is to say soldiers who guard me and who only become worse when they are well treated. Their wrong doing, however is my schoolmaster, but I am not thereby justified. May I have joy of the beasts that are prepared for me; and I pray that I may find them ready; I will even coax them to devour me quickly that they may not treat me as they have some whom they have refused to touch through fear. And if they are unwilling, I will compel them to devour me. Forgive me my children, I know what is expedient for me."

An eight-month-old baby girl was swept into Lake Michigan on February 19 when strong winds blew her stroller into the water near Belmont Harbor in Chicago, USA. Her caregiver screamed for help. Lio Cundiff, 30, who reportedly does not swim, saw that the woman "was in too much shock to do anything". He jumped into the icy lake, grabbed the stroller, and held it above the surface to keep the baby’s head from going under. Passers-by soon pulled Cundiff and the baby ashore. The baby was treated and found to be in good condition. The man was hospitalized for monitoring and later released.

Man jumps into icy Lake Michigan to rescue 8-month-old baby - LifeSite

CHICAGO (
LifeSiteNews) — A man saved an eight-month-old baby girl from drowning in Lake Michigan after he jumped into its icy waters.
Lio Cundiff, 30, was taking a walk along Belmont Harbor in Chicago while wishing a happy belated birthday to his aunt on the phone when he heard a woman scream and saw a stroller with a baby inside swept into Lake Michigan by a strong gust of wind.
“I wasn’t going to let that baby die,” Cundiff, who reportedly does not swim, told Fox10 from a nearby hospital, where his heart was being monitored after the rescue.
“I immediately dropped my phone, threw my jacket off,” Cundiff told Block Club Chicago. “I realized the woman was in too much shock to do anything, which is more than understandable. So I thought, ‘I guess I’m going in.’”
Cundiff jumped into the water and grabbed ahold of the stroller, with the baby still strapped in.
“I just held the stroller up,” Cundiff said. “I was thinking …

Is Leo XIV About to Demote Archbishop Peña Parra?

Leo XIV is considering appointing Archbishop Edgar Peña Parra, the Substitute for General Affairs, as Nuncio to Italy, reports Nico Spuntoni on IlGiornale.it (26 February).
"The number two in the Secretariat of State has already declined two 'exit' solutions proposed by Leo XIV, but he might consider the post in Villa Giorgina, which would keep him in contention for a future cardinalate."
The current Nuncio to Italy, Monsignor Petar Rajic, could become prefect of the papal household. This post, previously held by Archbishop Georg Gänswein, has been vacant for three years.
Damian Thompson refers to Archbishop Peña Parra as "Francis’s Machiavellian chief of staff". He had admitted to operating with false invoices during the infamous London property deal and thus to misleading the court.

‘Commentary on the Apocalypse’ by Saint Victorinus - From the Second Chapter – part 1 of 1 – points 2-18

[Saint Victorinus – III-IV Century AD; Roman Greece/Pettau, Roman Greece; Spiritual Writer; Martyr under Diocletian]
From the Third Chapter
“The fifth class, company, or association of saints, sets forth men who are careless, and who are carrying on in the world other transactions than those which they ought— Christians only in name.
And therefore He exhorts them that by any means they should be turned away from negligence, and be saved; and to this effect He says:—
2. Be watchful, and strengthen the other things which were ready to die; for I have not found your works perfect before God. For it is not enough for a tree to live and to have no fruit, even as it is not enough to be called a Christian and to confess Christ, but not to have Himself in our work, that is, not to do His precepts.
The sixth class is the mode of life of the best election. The habit of saints is set forth; of those, to wit, who are lowly in the world, and unskilled in the Scriptures, and who hold the faith …More

with comments
…The SSPX’s denunciations of Vatican II as containing “heretical” doctrines, its demonization of the papally approved Novus Ordo as “dangerous to souls,” and its vigorous criticisms of all post-conciliar papacies as riddled with “modernism” have now reached a point of theological incoherence. (Lionel: We now know that we can interpret Vatican Council II with a Rational or Irrational Premise and the conclusion is different. The Council interpreted irrationally is heretical and schismatic and should be rejected. However the SSPX and Larry Chapp can interpret the Council rationally and the conclusion will be orthodox) The rationale given by the SSPX for the “need” to ordain new bishops is that the broader Church now lacks the means to provide souls with salvific grace.

Since Vatican II was declared by the Pope who called it and the Pope who closed it as pastoral and non-dogmatic, believers are both free to ignore it while remaining obliged to cling to the prior dogmatic councils.
The fact that it can be interpreted as magisterial and apostolic but can also be interpreted contrary to prior dogmatic councils makes Vatican II unworthy of consideration. We have a rich library of clear and definitive Apostolic teaching. Wasting time on ambiguous pastoral texts is a distraction.

"And yet He is the only true physician both of souls and bodies. On this account He often seizes this nature of ours wantoning in prosperity, and travailing with a fever of sins, and by want, and hunger, and death and other calamities and the rest of the medicines of which He knows, frees us from diseases. But the poor alone feel hunger, says one. But He does not chasten with hunger alone, but with countless other things. Him who is in poverty He has often corrected with hunger, but the rich and him who enjoys prosperity, with dangers, diseases, untimely deaths. For He is full of resources, and the medicines which He has for our salvation are manifold."

“4. This argument therefore let us maintain throughout, and let us apply it to the case of the subject lying before us. God gave a speech common to all. This is part of his loving kindness to men. They did not use the gift rightly, but they lapsed to utter folly. He took away again that which had been given. For if when they had one speech, they fell into so great folly, as to wish to build a tower to heaven: had they not immediately been chastised would they not have desired to lay hold on the height of heaven itself? For why? If indeed that were impossible for them, yet notwithstanding their impious thoughts are made out from their plan. All which things God foresaw, and since they did not use their oneness of speech rightly, he rightly divided them by difference of speech. And see with me, his lovingkindness. …More

On February 22, following the death of cartel leader “El Mencho” and a wave of violence across Mexico, two priests in Jalisco prayed from the top of their church. Unable to celebrate public Sunday Eucharist due to security concerns, Rev. Ricardo López Díaz went to the bell tower of Holy Cross Church in El Salto and gave the Eucharistic blessing. Rev. Pedro Martínez Navarro later joined him, and together they prayed for peace.

Border czar
Tom Homan dismissed Pope Leo’s criticism of President Donald Trump’s deportation policies on Wednesday by comparing the fortified walls around the Vatican to the United States’s own border security efforts.
During a brief encounter with reporters, Homan was asked about Leo’s comments condemning mass deportations, including that the U.S. is doing them in a “disrespectful” way. Homan said Vatican City itself is a walled state and that the pontiff should focus on the Catholic Church’s “own issues.”

Bishop Coll: young Catholics seek ‘doctrinal solidity, not adaptability’ - The Irish Catholic

While Church debates continue about synodality and reform in preparation for an Irish Synod in October, Bishop Niall Coll of Raphoe has delivered a clear and sometimes firm message: the next generation of Catholics is not looking for endless discussion or progressive experimentation — they are looking for truth.
Speaking to a gathering of over 100 people at Kimmage Manor for the launch of Transformative Renewal in the Catholic Church, by Fr John O’Brien CSSp, Bishop Coll spoke about what he called the “I-Gen” — young Catholics born from 1995 onward and “Gen-Z”.
Far from demanding doctrinal change, Bishop Coll said this generation is showing signs of renewed seriousness about the faith. “Growing up (since 1995) entirely in a post-Christian, digital, morally fragmented culture they have no inherited memory of Catholic Ireland. Paradoxically, this leads many of them to …

The cowards compromise. Synodality is discussion of different views and experiences of flawed people. Catechisis is about passing on the Apostolic faith passed down from those who knew Christ and received solid unshakable inspiration through the Holy Ghost. The two are not compatible in any way. There are teachers and learners. Properly formed catechists listen to catechumens only to correct and deepen understanding. The Synodal process seeks to adapt Apostolic truth to the feelings, misconceptions and urges of those who need to be led.
